Hi, HomeAssistant dev here (specifically for the homekit_controller integration). Happy to confirm this is a correct summary of my conversations with @Nixellion - providing a unique and stable identifier like config.mac
as the Serial Number will allow Home Assistant to use this Home Bridge plugin. Cheers.
Hi!
Currently it is quite easy to integrate Haier AC into HomeAssistant using this homebridge plugin, as HomeAssistant has HomeKit Controller.
However there is a very serious issue, where only one of the AC entities is properly added into HomeAssistant. I raised this issue on HomeAssistant github and they told me that the reason for that is because haier-ac-remote plugin does not set unique identifier. And looking at the code, indeed it literally manually sets it to "Undefined". It's supposedly a 1-line fix here:
